Josh Henley from the US state of Arkansas was left horrified when he found the rodent hiding in the metallic container.

He claims that he purchased the drink from a gas station over the weekend, and he was left shocked as he's a regular drinker of the energy juice.

In a video, which has since gone viral on social media with in excess of 100,000 views, he said: ''I don't know if it's factory or what but there's a dead rat in here.''

Henley claims he'd left the drink half open in his car overnight, and that's when he discovered the pest.

He added: ''When I emptied it out, I heard that thud, I was like 'what is that?!', and I said 'oh my God' so I said 'I gotta film it 'cuz nobody's gonna believe it', so, I cut it open and my God, it's a big ol' mouse in there.''
